  • Here's a quick breakdown of how I get away with some smooth moving shots in my videos. In no way do I think 3 axis gimbals or glidecams aren't necessary, but if you're in a pinch hopefully these tips will help you out!

    I would recommend conforming the 30p clips to your base frame rate (24p (23,976) in this case im assuming) in the project window (If you're using Premiere: right click, modify, interpret footage, assume frame rate). That makes sure the frames line up perfectly with your timeline and you will eliminate the step where you have to nest the clip aswell.

      His point about filming in 30fps and slowing it down by 80% is to make the video smoother.

      @badmoonPL Před 4 lety +2

      @@ramon.alivio and you get exactly this with conforming the footage. At the same time you avoid duplicated or dropped frames issue.

  • @danieldougan269
    @danieldougan269 Před 3 lety +3

    These are great tips.
    Also, consider a tripod dolly. They can be quite affordable. I know if I tried to film on a skateboard, there would be broken bones. It won't work if you're on a dirt or gravel path, but if the surface is smoothly paved, it can really help! I'm thinking of picking one up.
    Bonus for the dolly: it can also allow you to make smooth pans and tilts while walking using your tripod's fluid head. I've been trying to do this in other ways since I don't currently have a dolly, but the results are not good, and I might just have to bite the bullet and get one. The cost isn't as much of a problem as just not wanting to have one more thing to carry around.
    Entry-level steadicams are really affordable too. Much cheaper than gimbals.

  • @SchroedingersGato

    I like your style dude. To the point and not a youtube "character". Just solid input. Thank you

  • @PrimeInChina
    @PrimeInChina Před 5 lety +4

    What I do is, I leave a strap on my Camera, to hold the back of the camera. And I take another strap and wrap it cradle it around the front of the lens. I hold both loops (the front and back) in my hand. It creates like a cradle. Then I dangle the camera in front of me and walk. It is sort of like a steady cam, just using straps. As long as you don't run crazy, and just walk steady.. it sort of creates this "Free flow" motion with the camera and allows it to stay in place or move smoothly in the air. So you just focus on staying balanced.. not swaying a lot and then warp stabilizer kind of fixes it in post if there are any jitters.

  • @floatingrabbit3556
    @floatingrabbit3556 Před 6 lety +3

    My best way is to learn how to walk in a way that you absorb as much movement shock then especially to shoot in 4k because this way stabilizing crops in to make footage stable and you lose little to no image quality.

  • @TheMagicCrafter
    @TheMagicCrafter Před 4 lety +1

    I've always done it this way ever since the small camcorder days of the nineties. I always did it the same way you walk and hold a huge glass of beer filled to the rim, or a large plate of dinner with lots of runny sauce.

    All of these are good suggestions, but I'll turn 70 this year, and skateboarding isn't a realistic option. One thing I learned years ago is to shoot after I exhale and before I inhale. Instead of shooting while inhaling -- which creates tension and motion that get transferred to your hands -- try to shoot after you exhale and before you inhale. It doesn't work for shots that last longer than 30 seconds (unless your name is Harry Houdini), but you can always pause and repeat the cycle.

    Is it me or does warp stabilizer still make the footage look weird, there's areas in the shot where the warping can be seen and even though it's a low percent a zoom/warp is still fairly obvious? To the untrained eye maybe not but as someone that's experimented with warp stabilizer it's clear it's been used. Good tops though, still impressive for the lack of equipment used

    • @VideoGuy9461
      @VideoGuy9461 Před 5 lety

      Warp stabilizer is only for very specific types of movements. It's not meant to be the one-size-fits-all stabilizer that people try to use it as.
